FLOWERY BRANCH — Julio Jones is learning there are more ways to go about his job in the Atlanta Falcons’ new offense. The two-time Pro Bowl wide receiver believes the way to do that is to show up for work every day, even though he is looking for a new contract. Jones said Wednesday that he will not hold out like fellow NFL wideouts Dez Bryant and DeMaryius Thomas.
